little bit of hope

we are all aware of Japans recent tragedy, we just sit and watch the news, but we don't really do anything.... my future cousin-in-laws, and their friends decided to do something. these young minds put on a play, sold refreshments, and charged admission, all in hopes to help out Japan. i am not sure how much money they raised, but just the thought that these kids are being creative, and helping, is simply amazing.

Renee & Nick

These two are amazing, and may become some of my favorite models! We first had the amazing engagement session from them, where I got to learn how awesome these two are. Now this wedding with all kinds of a fairy tale, I really had SO MANY photos to choose from. I might do a separate blog of just the hilariousness that happened. Also, side note... at dinner the DJ had told me they created the ENTIRE play list of night.... BEST PLAY LIST I HAVE EVER HEARD!!! future brides, just hire Renee & Nick!

this was my first time meeting Diana with Diana's Makeup. SHE WAS AMAZING

jen, joe & baby

i am SOOO excited, and proud of this photo shoot. joe has been a good friend of mine for awhile, and jen came into the mix a little over a year ago. i loved jen from day one, and in this photo shoot she had this amazing glow about her. i cannot wait for this baby to arrive, their new home, and love for each other and the baby just melts my heart. p.s. it was hard to pick the favorites.... i still have tons more

grandma made the monkey! how cute

owen, gerri & isabella

we all know the past month was nothing but rain, although it was a little cold, we were lucky enough to pick the only day without rain. the kids were great, and woke up super early for the photo shoot. i had lots of fun, and was quite the mess by the end of the day.

parker

awesome baby #2 of 2011! parker is the new nephew of my past couple jim & robyn. for being less than 2 weeks old, this boy was awake and watching everything! very rare on such new babies. i must say he wasn't quite the biggest fan of me in the beginning, but i think we became buddies.

i did 3 test shots, and my first photo was this.... he loves me

this was dad's toy as a baby.... his brother had one too, not so cute...

precious

fun meeting you parker!
